| I just finished installing the console today after working on it this weekend, and it works great, and looks sweet, imo any way. I just want to thank Tim S. (BigBlackBeaSSt) for all the Bravada parts to do this swap, great guy to deal with, and good friend. Thanks Tim. This is a great mod to these cars, looks and feels factory. Helps pull the GS theme off a little more. [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img] |

| Who designed those brackets? The brackets are a key part of making this thing solid enough to handle the shift forces but not so solid that when your knee hits the shifter it breaks your knee. |

| Lorne, I love your fleet, especially your new BRMW from Mike, GORGEOUS! My wagon was from a funeral home in Ship Bottom, NJ., and my dad rode funeral escort on a H-D part time when I was growing up. You should have seen my kids faces when I told them the wagon was used to carry around dead people, priceless. Bill, Yeh, huge difference, I like even more than I thought I would. Krz, There are a bunch of these write ups already on ISSF, and Roadmonster.org. These are the two I used. Stewart's Roadmonster site is pretty cool. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/629700/4 http://roadmonster.org/?cat=33 Tim S. (BigBlackBeaSSt) and I may be doing the same mod on his RMW just before WF'10, if you still want me to do a write up, Tim and I could probably do one then. What do you think Tim?  Joel, It may brake your knee, I designed them and bent up the brackets out of 12 guage sheet metal, the console is rock solid.

| Looks awesome! Those brackets are VERY nice....thicker than the ones I used on the old AGW a few years back.
Did you cut the driver's seat? Or use an extra passenger seat? _________________   -- 1995 Jadestone Limited RMW from Atlanta (pushing to complete...) -- 1988 Cavalier (Daily Beater aka 'Lil Buddy)  |

I SEM'd mine (does not have a shifter). The paint match is perfect.
Mike, that looks great, did you get the back seat done yet? The gear indicator works also is that correct?

| Tom, can you post a good pic of yours? I think I would prefer it without a floor shifter... |

| I like that. I'm wondering how it would work on my 95. My car has the power lumbar switch sticking out on the outside of the seat so using 2 pass seats still wouldn't work. Anyone have any suggestions?

| Peel back your seat bottom leather, and cut off the extra middle part. Tuck the leather back down and hog ring it in place. |

| Tom, No, the back seat is not done. I still need to get it stitched up in the back, looks good from the front though. The shifter indicator works on the dash still and the floor shifter. |

| 200OZ makes brackets for the console to mount into b-bodies. He can also make the bracket to mount the cable to the tranny. Lots of post on this. |
